But Both Before I’m Gone isn’t just ballsy galvanized guitar tracks, they have included a few sublime ballads – well tracks that are more ballad-esque anyway – most notably “Road To Home”. This surprisingly tranquil lullaby has softly lush guitar and slower gentler beats that will serenade you into a dreamlike state.
Other stand-out tracks include “Their Cell”, a song about longing and loss, with voluptuous melodies and harmonies and Nina’s emotive vocals, which seem to reach down into her pathetic, barely-beating heart to rip the pain from her chest to share it with you. “Celibate Now” opens with a retro-50s riff that weaves an evanescent veil of nostalgia around you; executed perfectly by Nina’ crooner-esque vocals and misty guitar riff. And finally “Simple Man”, which represents a complete change of pace for GIAC. This sweet acoustic song about the exquisite pain and pleasure of love is profoundly touching.
Both Before I’m Gone is a must hear album and GIAC are a band to watch and admire. These ballsy chicks are going somewhere. To listen Girl In A Coma you can visit their MySpace space or their website. I suggest you just buy this fabulous debut album from either Amazon or iTunes, as quickly as you can.
